House Trap Replacement – Milwaukee, WI

A homeowner in Milwaukee, WI contacted our team to investigate a potential sewer lateral issue affecting the property’s drainage system. To accurately diagnose the problem, we performed a detailed sewer camera inspection to locate and evaluate the condition of the home’s house trap.

During the inspection, we identified the house trap approximately seven feet below ground, located about four feet from the home’s foundation and six feet from the sidewalk. Using advanced video camera equipment, we documented the condition of the house trap and surrounding piping to provide a clear assessment of the system. Due to the condition of the house trap, the camera was unable to continue beyond this point, indicating that additional work would be necessary to fully evaluate the remainder of the sewer line.

Based on our findings, we recommended excavating and replacing the existing house trap to restore reliable sewer flow and provide proper access to the remainder of the sewer lateral. We prepared to provide the homeowner with a detailed estimate outlining the excavation and replacement process, along with the expected scope of work.

In addition to the sewer evaluation, we also discussed the condition of the property’s water service line and prepared a separate estimate for replacing the existing water line from the street to the home. Addressing both systems can help improve the long-term reliability of the property’s underground utility infrastructure.

This house trap inspection and replacement service in Milwaukee, Wisconsin provided the homeowner with an accurate diagnosis and a clear plan for restoring the sewer system while preparing for future upgrades to both the sewer and water service lines.
